The great essential was to persuade the court to substitute the Durham Rule for the M'Naghten / Rule. If that happened, then Andrews, .> because of the abundant evidence con- cerning his schizophrenic condition, would certaInly be sentenced not to the gallows, or even to prison, but to con- finement in the State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. However, the de- fense reckoned without the defendant's religious counsellor, the tireless Rever- end Mr. Dameron, who appeared at ' the trial as the chief witness for the prosecutIOn, and who, in the over- wrought, rococo style of a tent-show revivalist, told the court he had often warned his former Sunday- school pupil of God's impend- ing wrath: "I says, 'There isn't anything in this world '\...- ø-.. that is worth more than your soul, and you have acknowl- edged to me a number of times in our conversations that your faith is weak, that you have no faith in God. You know that all sin is against God and God is your final judge, and you have got to answer to Him.' That is what I said to make him feel the ter- ribleness of the thing he'd done, and that he had to answer to the Almighty for this crime." But apparentlv the Reverend Mr. Dameron was deter- mined that young Andrews should answer not only to the Almighty but also to the temporal powers, for it was his testimony, added to the de- fendant's confession, that settled mat- ters. The presiding judge upheld the M'Naghten Rule, and the jury gave the state the death penalty it demanded. ' ::: ?:" 0". t I""' z < ....J rloo. V Z /' c o I-õ !"'"

At the tIme, the Andrews verdict was under review by the same court. Perry's cell adjoined Dick's, and though the two prisoners were in visible to each other, they could easily con- verse. Yet Perry seldom spoke to DIck, and it wasn't because of any declared animosity between them; after the ex- change of a few tepid reproaches, their relationship had turned into one of mu- tual toleration-the acceptance of un- congenIal but helpless Siamese twins. It was because Perry, cautious, as alwavs, and secretive and suspicious, disliked ha ving his "private business" overheard by the guards and the other Inmates- especIally Andrews, or Andy, as he was called on The Row. Andrews' educated - ....... ,..- - f"" - accent, his intelligence, the formal qual- ity of his college traIning-all this was anathelna to Perry, who, though he had not gone beyond the third grade, im- agined himself more learned than most of his acquaintances, and en joyed cor- recting them, particularly in matters of grammar and pronunciation. And here, suddenly, was someone-"just a kid"-constantly correcting him. 'iV as it any wonder he never opened his mouth? Andrews meant well, he was without malice, but Perry couldn't stand hIm-yet for a long time he did not admit it, or let anyone there guess why, after one of these humilIating in- cidents, he sat and sulked and ignored his meals, which were delivered to him three times a day. At the beginning of June, he stopped eating altogether. He told Dick, "You can wait around for the rope. But not me." From that moment, he refused to touch food or water or to say one word to anybody. The fast lasted five days be- fore the warden took it seriously. On the sixth day, he ordered Perry trans- ferred to the prison hospitaL But the move did not lessen Perry's resul ve ; when attempts were made to force-feed him, he fought back, tossing his head and clenching his jaws until they were rigid as horseshoes. Eventually he had to be pinioned and fed through a tube in one nostril. Even so, over the next nine weeks his weight fell from a hundred and sixty-eight pounds to a hundred and fifteen, and the warden was warned that force-feeding alone could not keep the patient alive indefi- nItel y. Dick, though he was impressed by Perry's will power, would not concede that his purpose was suicide, and when Perry was reported to be in a coma, Dick told Andrews, with whom he had become friendly, that his former con- federate was faking: "He just wants them to think he's crazy." Andrews, a compulsive eater ( during his stay in Death Row he filled a scrapbook with illustrated edibles, in- cluding everything from strawberry shortcake to roasted pig), said, "Maybe he is crazy. Starving himself like that. " "He just wants to get out of here. Play-acting. So they'll say he's crazy and put him in the crazyhouse." Dick afterward grew fond of quot- ing Andrews' reply, for it seemed to him a fine specimen of the boy's "funny h . k . " h ' " if I d " t In lng, IS 0 -on-a-c ou com- placency. "'iV ell," Andrews was re- ported to have said, "it certainly strikes me as a hard way to do it. Starving
